thanks for the update! i actually only took it for a few months then weened myself off of it to see if it was really helping. ive now been off of it for a couple of months and my skin is still good (...

Absolutely. I havent had any wheat, its just a super duper increase in sugar! I had 3 Easter dinners and I did lots of baking. I decided to switch my exercise routine and workout in the mornings and ...

Thanks for posting - I was always following along Best of luck!!! Last week I ate an insane amount of candy, chocolate and baked goods- tons of easter dinners etc. Now I have my first big bump happ...

you're skin looks fantastic!

good update. and yeah it really is a learning curve. sounds like you are taking a ton of things. do they all interact with eachother okay? yeah maybe antibiotics might be helpful, who knows. worth a ...

have you thought about using something topical just to get it under control while you clean up your diet a bit over the next month? maybe just a 2.5% benzol peroxide for instance.

Your skin is looking better already. And you are EXCEPTIONAL at makeup application. your skin looks flawless with makeup on! Things are going great for me thanks. Gluten is the enemy for me. I havent...

best of luck! keep the good spirits up and the regime and you'll do it! you've done it before and you can do it again!! exercise and sleep are key keep us posted on your progress.

how is it going?

success is still fantastic. alot of PIH still and I think thats from BP (im pretty sure red marks have never hung around this long before i was using bp) i have had maybe 5 zits total in the 3 month...

i think that might be a bit of anxiety vs actually speeding up your heart beat. thats happened to me with antibiotics but they dont speed up heartrate, they just make me anxious... saw p doesnt do a...

i believe some people said 3-4 months.

hmm. no idea. best to talk to your doctor about that.

Yes! The things that i have noticed (that make me very happy,. thus making me feel better) are clear skin, less headaches and no keritosis pilaris on my arms. oh and also its shortened my periods from...

ive been on 450mg daily for almost 4 months now and have seen fantastic results. i would prefer not to take something synthetic if i am able to. alot of people on this site have cleared from Saw P but...

yeah. after the holidays (id like my skin to be nice for them lol) im going to drop down to 320mg daily for a while and see how that impacts, then go down to 160mg. im also going to do a test and ha...

thats great news!! how much saw p are you taking daily? (how many mg's)

just ignore

i dont even know that there is anything medically they can do. ive spoken with my dr about a hormonal imbalance before and if acne is the only symptom you have (which is my case) then medicine cannot ...

from what ive read on these boards alot of people get tested and its a waste of money because an imbalance doesnt show up. alot of people with hormonal acne fall into the "normal" category when tested...

Hi Everyone! A summary about me, suffered from acne (regular whiteheads and blackheads) when I was a teen. Took BCP to help clear that up, which it did. Never had perfect skin but it was pretty good...

alot of packaged foods contain gluten. have you tried removing gluten for at least 4-6 weeks?
